Yeah, want it look like it's right out of about 1966 when it's done.... Might sound selfish or egotistical but the main reason I got the car and will most likely build it myself is to keep it from falling into the wrong hands... Hate to see it go to someone who would rat the thing out, then try to tell me that's how it was done "back in the day", car is too nice for that!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Dave,I dont blame you for saving it..It needs to be built the way it was/should be,period style gasser..With a bit of luck,there will be a bit of a resurgence of this style..We have three tri 5s down here now,one of them being Golly Adams old 56 that he built when he lived in California,a friends BBC 55 in Auckland,and another 55 that was built and finished early this year,and even if there are about three million tri 5s in the country now.
...these three stand out from the rest,cos they are GASSERS...

Still think a FORD power plant would bring grins to thousands of onlookers!
